I'll Drink to That! What is your favorite beverage to have with a cigar? Juice? Cola? Beer? Port? Single Malt Scotch? This room is for the discussion of beverages, especially alcoholic beverages that go well with cigars! |

Green Beans
Time to order again, and I am wondering, has anyone found
anything outstanding from CBC as of recent? If not CBC perhaps another vendor.

Well, I can tell you that my latest CBC order was for 5lbs each of the Ethiopian Organic Idido - Misty Valley and the Sumatra Lake Tawar Premium Lintong. Both are very difficult to come by, and the people I know who know coffee highly recommend them.
I'm eagerly awaiting delivery, and should have some personal insights in just a few days. [EDIT: Order came today, already roasted a batch of the Misty Valley. Will post impressions tomorrow.]

Another good one from CBC is the Panama Boquette SHB - Carmen. It's been my go-to coffee for the past two months. I liked it so much, I ordered twenty pounds.

Doug, the Sumatra Lake Tawar Premium Lintong is fantastic. A very bright coffee, with a full-bodied finish, a combination I love. Similar to the Iskandar, but with more complexity, I think. Thanks for the heads-up.

Not that I would EVER shill for my employer (CBC) , but what I'm choosing to drink personally, and I have over 100 to choose from , are the coffees mentioned here, (the Idido, Lake Tawar and Panama Carmen), the Colombian Choco El Carmen del Atrata, El Salvador San Emilio, Colombian La Magnolia, Nic COE #5 Santa Isabel, PNG Kimel PB, Kenya Gakuyuini (both AA and peaberry) and the Sumatra Tarbarita peaberry, which are separtated peaberries from Lintong Blue Batak and Lake Tawar. Very usual to see a separated peaberry offering from Sumatra, especially from these two outstanding coffees.
